CaryTheLabelGuy Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Not gonna hold out for the 6? Or... Haha. Exactly! Having an iPhone and Android flagship never hurt anybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyd96 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Well from that it looks as if Sprint is only carrying the 3GB/32GB version which is great. 3GB/32GB should be the minimum specs offered in top of the line smartphones these days.

skid71 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Very much looking forward to putting my E4GLTE to bed for the G3. Hoping for solid dev support. I've downloaded towelroot in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW Maverick Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Here is my question: Can I do an LG Backup on my G2, place it on my computer then move it to my new G3 and do a restore? In theory, it should not be a problem, but you never know. Thanks. Mav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamisonshaw125 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I hope I win the free one in that contest even though the chances of that are 0. I would love to try this phone out. Looks very nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid71 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Those of you looking for price breaks/deals: If purchasing from July 11 through July 24; $150 visa gift card If purchasing from July 25 through (argh...can't remember date); $100 gc Let's say you qualify for the $150. Knocks it down to $450. To put this in perspective, I just switched over to Framily (adding 5 new Sprint customers). One of those new people just bought a new S3 today for...wait for it....wait for it. $449.99. Argh! A two-year old, single-band device for the same price as I'm going to pay for the G3. Not even going to add in the multiple $75 gift cards for the new Framily recruits. I did my due diligence and made sure they were going to be covered by the network first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid71 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just for Framily or what? The $150 gift card is for those purchasing via Easy Pay. The $75 gift card is for signing up new Sprint customers to your Framily. Hopefully mrrogers will read this and decide he and the other Team d3rp members can't live without the G3 and develop for it. I'd like a 6.5" flagship device but don't think we'll ever see one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you can find it second hand and pop in a data tmobile sim card to play with it. Not very popular should be pretty cheap relatively speaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could say we would jump to G3 but G2 (and life) is keeping us plenty busy. Now if we happen to win a device or 2, then that would be a game changer but G2 is great and I just started another rifle project so I'm not buying extra tech just for fun. I am getting my Dad into a G3 though so at least I'll get to play with one. The plan is to move to the next LG flagship as long as to put the SD810 in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 We just got our G3 demo here at the store and I gotta say if I wasn't getting one at the launch event I would for sure be buying one outright. This phone is awesome!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 How's the screen quality? I heard a "rumor" that people are complaining about the screen, yet I've not seen any proof of this. From what I have read, those early complaints were from the Korean model of the phone. They said that it only reached 350~ish nits of brightness and had some over-sharpening effects that made text have a 'halo' around it. Now I read that the European versions have been tweaked and reach 450~ish nits of brightness, but they did not say anything else about it.... But the max brightness being upped is good for outdoors, and I wonder if the minimum brightness is also tweaked as it has been said to be too high for some to comfortably reed at night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I haven't noticed anything. It all looks really good to me. The gold is sharp looking on the device too. I only have a dummy for the black one now but it also looks pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Ixnay Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm gonna hold on to my G2 a little longer, but I'm gonna upgrade the wife's Note 2 with this phone. Hopefully she likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skid71 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 For those of you who desire to modify your G3... It appears as if @utoprime (autoprime) and team have successfully loaded TWRP onto one of the variants. If history is any indicator, Sprint G3 owners may have the ability to mod their G3's soon. Sorry, so lazy not to post link. XDA G3 > General > Bootloader Bounty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
